Tech/Engineering - Food & Drink / type of milling
Italian term or phrase: a tutto corpo
in a brochure I have to translate Molitura “a tutto corpo” con macine in pietra naturale, per un prodotto più ricco di fibre e sali minerali

does "full-body" or "whole-body" mean anything to a native English speaker for milling flour, or would I be better off using another term? They tell me it's basically a synonym of "integrale"

from the net: Le farine a tutto corpo, sono quelle alle quali non è stata tolta la semola che contiene gli elementi completi del grano e soprattutto non si usano prodotti chimici ...
&
Flour produced with wheats from the Marche and Emilia Romagna regions, with the method called “tuttocorpo” (whole-body) developed by Paolo Mariani’s family: wheat is milled integrally – i.e. with no separation between the flour and bran, wheat germ and fibres of the aleurone layer – leaving all the characteristics of the grain unaltered. It is suitable for medium to short fermentations.

wholemeal


Explanation:
"Full body" or "whole body" flour doesn't exist in the UK - not even in health-food shops! "Stone-ground wholemeal" definitely does.

No :) "Whole grain milling" would sound better.

Notes to answerer
Asker: now I come to think of it, wholemeal is rather nice etymologically as meal presumably derives from the term mill, but it still doesn't sound very natural as a concordance with milling, does it?

Explanation:
Obviously if you simply want a product name, then Lisa Jane's answer is a good one. But if you need to describe the process then you need a verb.
